BTM: "Back before I started writing here on Black Trident Media I was doing a serious of write ups called Aspect Analysis on my personal blog, and then later on another site. It may have lost the name here, but all my non-review write ups are done in the same vein as those articles, and I write them with the intent at analyzing a single aspect of a game an discuss why it does or does not work. The first of these, which disappeared from the internet when I let my blog go down was on Lufia 2. That write up was pretty bad due to my lack of experience at the time, but this is me giving it another shot. This is here in part for those of you who may remember reading that and letting you know that yes, that other one was me and this is me giving it another shot, and in part to give everyone a proper Idea of what it is the focus of many of my write ups are."

Joining the world of gaming during the hey-day of the NES and Famicom in 1987, the company has gone to produce some of gaming’s most memorable games. From relaxing romps through virtual farms to deep RPG adventures and fast-paced action games, Natsume has done it all! So for today’s Top 10 we decided it would be fun to look back at the company’s legacy of gaming greatness and name the Top 10 Best Natsume games of all time!"
Sometimes, RPG series people love are lost to the sands of time. The developers that made them go out of business, other companies decide they are not profitable and age leads to them not getting a digital rerelease via a platform like the Virtual Console. Lufia is one of these series. But, while it is difficult to accumulate a complete collection of these games and get into them now, it is not impossible and many installments are worth your time.
I remember playing part one and two for SNES.
The SNES was seriously in a class of it's own back then.
Looking to get your grubby mitts on some sealed classic games directly from the source? Well, now is your chance. The American division of Natsume, the Japan-based publisher and developer of such classics as S.C.A.T., Wild Guns and Shadow of the Ninja, has begun selling their stockpile of new-old-stock from their offices on the company’s eBay Store, allowing fans to get their hands on some hard-to-find, minty SNES gems that are sure to make retro collectors salivate.
It's weird to think how many people there could be with sealed copies of old consoles or games which don't have a clue about them and they are most likely gathering dust in their loft.
It happens...
Not gaming related but there was a woman in my street, single mother with a kid and when her grandmother died she ended up taking a vase from her house when clearing it out, that large vase sat in her hallway for almost two decades, older then her son and she then found out by chance it was worth a lot of money. After that she found out some of the other things she had cleared out were worth a lot aswell. In the end she made almost million, set her and her son up.
Always down for some Pocky and Rocky... too bad I can't afford those originals :(
Fortress of doom was also an excellent game
